Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to fishing lures, and more particularly, to attachable floats for artificial fishing lures. In one embodiment, a float comprises a buoyant body having a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and an outer wall connecting the first and second ends. The float comprises a keeper extending from the body. The keeper is configured to attach the body to a polymeric artificial lure.

A fishing lure system configured to generate a movement that mimics the lifelike movement of a decapod crustacean is provided. By sequentially applying and releasing a pulling force on a fishing line fixed to the fishing lure system, the entire system may be pulled in the direction of the force while a tail portion of the lure is “kicked” forward in a direction opposite to the pulling force.

A lure imitating the swimming action of a fish, includes: a rigid head consisting of a flat rear section and elements for fixing a fishing line, a hook including a shaft fixed to the rear section of the head and extending along the longitudinal axis of the lure, a flexible body extending between a front and rear end, the front end being flat and resting against the rear section of the head, the front end having a section substantially equal to the rear section, the body including a first cylindrical part extending substantially along the longitudinal axis of the lure and including a recess, and a second curved part, a baffle extending in a transverse plane relative to the body, the baffle being fixed to the rear end of the body and increasing the curvature of the second part relative to a central line of curvature of the second part.

A bionic bait includes a bait body including an imitation trunk including a spine sheet including ribs at each of two opposite lateral surfaces thereof. Each rib extends along a longitudinal direction and has a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface in a transversal direction. The first surface has first protrusions and a first valley between every two adjacent ones of the first protrusions. The second surface has second protrusions and a second valley between every two adjacent ones of the second protrusions. The first protrusions of a respective rib can enter into the second valleys of an adjacent rib, and the second protrusions of the adjacent rib can enter into the first valleys of the respective rib. The respective rib allows the adjacent rib to rest thereon. Therefore, the bionic bait in the flow can swing like a live fish.

The present disclosure relates to an artificial bait having certain physical characteristics that allow for it to remain forward-facing in the water to be quickly detected location- and direction-wise using sonar techniques. The characteristics of the bait also allow for it to engage in erratic darting action and remain in the water during retrieval for an extended period of time. Typically, the bait can include a body having a head portion, a tail portion, and a middle portion therebetween. A first attachment structure configured to receive a line can be located on or near the head portion. A hook structure can be inserted behind the first attachment structure, for example, on or near the middle portion of the body. The head portion can further include a portion of dense material therein.

A fishing lure system with an example having a two-part fishing lure having a replaceable hook-retainer carriage assembly which is removably insertable in an elastomeric body component. When configured as a two-part lure, the fishing lure may be configured with a flexible elastomeric body component with a precisely positioned preformed cavity in the head region for receiving a weighted hook-retainer carriage. The carriage may be inserted into the lure through a slit or passageway. The elastomeric bodies, hooks and weighted carriage assemblies of one example are independently removable and replaceable. The carriage assembly of one example includes an integral hook eye retaining loop and hook shank retainers which exit through passageways from the preformed cavity to the dorsal surface of the elastomeric body. The eyelet and retainers may be configured to position an upward pointing hook that is removably secured adjacent the outside dorsal surface of the lure.

A soft plastic fishing lure has a bait body with a head portion and a tail portion opposite the head portion. The bait body has an elastomeric material and defines a cavity with an opening disposed at the tail portion. The cavity extends into the bait body toward the head portion. An insert is configured to be inserted into the cavity through the opening and retained in the bait body. The insert has a fish attracting feature, such as a rattle, a glow stick, or a scented material.

A fishing lure according to an embodiment of the disclosure comprises a main body portion having an interior portion provided with a cavity. The cavity is partially or completely visible from outside. At least one high refractive index glass bead and/or at least one specular bead capable of reflecting external light is disposed in an outer surface of the main body portion, in an inner surface of the main body portion, and/or inside the cavity. The external light is reflected by the at least one high refractive index glass bead and/or the at least one specular bead disposed in the outer surface, in the inner surface, and/or inside the cavity.
